Launched on the Dreamcast in 2001, SEGAGAGA is an RPG filled with humor and SEGA intel. In the game, players must shoulder the important task of reviving SEGA’s business and fight against the evil rival DOGMA – a company that dominates the majority of the console market and clearly alludes to Sony…
Although the game was full of creativity, it was never released outside of Japan because SEGA announced that it would withdraw from the console market and transform into a third-party publisher.
Game director appeals: Create your own “SEGAGAGA”
Tetsu “Tez” Okano, the game director of “SEGAGAGA”, recently stated on social media:
“If there is any unique meaning to “SEGAGAGA”, it is that it was born with a production cost of only one percent of “Shenmue”, and it was all completed with creativity. Please everyone, create your own “SEGAGAGA”!”
He also revealed that the game was successfully launched because the development process was extremely confidential.
Is there hope for Western localization? Tetsu Okano: Welcome to discuss cooperation!
Regarding whether “SEGAGAGA” has the opportunity to launch a Western localized version for modern systems, Tetsu Okano said:
“For more than 20 years, I have been very happy to hear everyone’s call for an English version of “SEGAGAGA”. However, due to copyright issues, this will not be a simple project. If I can help, I will definitely be willing to assist, so feel free to contact me for cooperation at any time!”
He also emphasized that if “SEGAGAGA” is to be launched in English as a product, someone must formally negotiate with SEGA from a commercial standpoint in order to promote authorization and distribution.
Fans themselves learn English
The English culture project has been going on for five years now and is progressing smoothly. Translator Exxistance recently revealed that the first chapter of the game has been fully translated into English, including all NPC dialogues and boss battle plots.
Progress update: Chapter 1 has been completed
Exxistance shared the progress on the social platform: “Recently it is almost daytime work + non-stop translation of “SGGG”. The first chapter has been fully translated, whether it is NPC dialogue or boss battles, all have been changed to English.
I’m currently working on Chapter 2, but it’s a massive text and is about 30% complete. This game is truly a SEGA treasure, and I hope everyone enjoys this translation journey! “
